Rail travel via the Shinkansen is the most practical method for this route as it connects Tokyo city center directly to Gifu-Hashima Station. Buses are available but take significantly longer, often exceeding 6 hours. There are no direct commercial flights to Hashima, as travelers would have to fly into Nagoya and then take a train or bus, making the Shinkansen the fastest and most direct option.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
